Vulnerability discussion

The web server must be configured to listen on a specified IP address and port. Without specifying an IP address and port for the web server to utilize, the web server will listen on all IP addresses available to the hosting server. If the web server has multiple IP addresses, i.e., a management IP address, the web server will also accept connections on the management IP address.Accessing the hosted application through an IP address normally used for non-application functions opens the possibility of user access to resources, utilities, files, ports, and protocols that are protected on the desired application IP address.

Check content

Navigate to and open /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/tomcat-web-app/conf/server.xml. Navigate to each of the nodes. If either the IP address or the port is not specified for each , this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to and open /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/tomcat-web-app/conf/server.xml. Navigate to each of the nodes. Configure each node with the correct port and address value: address="XXXXX" port="YYYYY"

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
